NAME
       c-icap -	ICAP filtering server

SYNOPSIS
       c-icap  [ -V ] [	-VV ] [	-f  config-file	] [ -N ] [ -d  debug-level ] [
       -D ]

DESCRIPTION
       c-icap is an implementation of an ICAP server. It can be	used with HTTP
       proxies that support the	ICAP protocol.	Most  of  the  comercial  HTTP
       proxies must support ICAP pcotocol.

OPTIONS
       -V     Print version

       -VV    Print build informations

       -f config-file
	      Specify the configuration	file

       -N     Do not run as daemon

       -d level
	      Specify the debug	level

       -D     Print debug info to stdout

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/c-icap/c-icap.conf
	      The main configuration file
       /usr/local/etc/c-icap/c-icap.magic
	       In  this	file defined the types of files	and the	groups of file
	      types.
       /var/run/c-icap.pid
	      By default c-icap	writes its pid in this file. The path of  this
	      file  can	 changed  using	the PidFile configuration parameter in
	      the c-icap.conf file
       /var/run/c-icap.ctl
	      The commands socket. This	file used to send commands to the icap
	      server from command line.	For information	about implemented com-
	      mands look below in the "Implemented commands" sub-section

NOTES
   Implemented commands
       Currently the following commands	are implemented:

       stop
	      The c-icap will shutdown

       reconfigure
	      The service will reread the config file without the need to stop
	      and restart the c-icap server. The services will	be  reinitial-
	      ized

       relog
	      This  command  causes  c-icap to close and reopen	the log	files.
	      This is very useful for log rotation.

       Services	and modules can	define their own commands.

       Examples:

       To reconfigure c-icap:
		    echo -n "reconfigure" > /var/run/c-icap.ctl

       To rotate access	log:
		    mv /var/log/c-icap/access.log /var/log/c-icap/access.log.1
		    echo -n "relog" > /var/run/c-icap.ctl

   Lookup tables
       Lookup tables are simple	read-only databases.  A	lookup table  can  de-
       fined in	c-icap.conf file using the form:
	    type:path
       where the type is the type of lookup table and path is the extra	infor-
       mation  required	 to use	the table (e.g.	file path). Currently the fol-
       lowing lookup table types defined internally by c-icap:

       file   Simple text file databases. The database records are  stored  in
	      text files in the	form:
	       key[: value1, value2 ...]

	      example path definition:
		     file:/path/to/the/file.txt

       hash   Similar  to  file	 lookup	tables but c-icap uses fast hashes for
	      searching.

	      example path definition:
		     hash:/path/to/the/file.txt

       regex  Similar to the file lookup tables	but the	keys are  regular  ex-
	      pressions	 in  the form /regex/flags . For possible flags	values
	      please read 'Regex expressions' paragraph	in this	manual.

	      example regex lookup table data:
			  /^[a-m].*/i: group1
			  /^[n-z].*/i: group2

       example path definition:
	      regex:/path/to/the/file.txt

   Regex expressions
       The c-icap regex	 expressions  have  the	 form  /regex_definition/flags
       where "flags" is	one or more letters, its of them express a flag.

       Common flags
	      g	This flag forces the score multiplied by the number of regex
		expression matches. For	example	if the expression matches 5
		times and the devined score value is 10	then the final score
		will be	50.
	      i	Do caseless matching
	      m	Match-any-character operators don't match a newline
		and ^$ operators does not match	newlines within	data

       If the module compiled using the	pcre library the following flags can
       be used
	      s	(PCRE_DOTALL)  matches anything	including NL
	      x	(PCRE_EXTENDED)	Ignore whitespace and #	comments
	      A	(PCRE_ANCHORED)	Force pattern anchoring
	      D	(PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY) $	not to match newline at	end
	      U	(PCRE_UNGREEDY)	Invert greediness of quantifiers
	      X	(PCRE_EXTRA) PCRE extra	features
	      u	(PCRE_UTF8) Run	in UTF-8 mode

   Runtime information
       Someone	can  retrieve  runtime information using the info service. The
       information includes bytes received and	transmited,  active  services,
       information  about  service  usage and many other. The information pro-
       vided in	HTML and text format.

       Example:

       Retrieve	runtime	information from command line:
	      c-icap-client -i localhost -s "info?view=text" -req "a_url"
